I appeal to all reefers for your assistance please...

One of my medium-size clownfish started to have visible thin and transparent skin peeling out! It is swimming frantically, always making U-turns, seems to be breathing rapidly. NOT FEEDING tonight, food was garlic-soaked pellets. 2 days already.

I know these symptoms sound like devil, may i know what can i do to heal my clownfish back?

My water parameters are normal, 2feet tank is 5 months old, inhabitants are:

2x turbosnails

2x cleanershrimps

2x foxface

1x arcane starfish

1x small clown and 1x adult clown

1x purple nudibranch

Quite a number of copepods

My corals are:

1x clam

1x purple star polyps

2x mushrooms

2x anemones

I always do 20% water change once a week every saturday.

My most recent addition was the red bamboo... All my other fishes are behaving normally.

Thank you and god bless !

now your biggest problem is to cure this fish.

Do you have the type of slime coat medicine? If yes, triple dose it. Better use good brands and they are more better effect. You must monitor at all times that your water is at its best condition. Try to store more new water to change 10% every 12 hrs so this to maintain clean water. Please bear in mind that the new water must really good parameters condition too. Do you have any small separation container that has holes and can be place in the main tank? If yes, place this fish in there so other fishes/shrimps are unable to futher disturb the wound. Dont feed too much but feed a bit every few hrs, maybe 6 hrs. Other fishes, feed less.
